Bridge construction is coming along slowly. They've sunk the giant tube since the last update as well:

We had no intent to embarrass you into editing that by acting like bunch of high schoolers. My apologies. (no sarcasm, I am truly sorry we made you feel the need to change that word. I can only speak for myself, but I think we were all just enjoying a bit of sophomoric humor after the disappointing D23.) Honestly, while the jury is out on Epcot's evolution, I think we, as a whole, are more excited for this footbridge than any of the announcements we got.

Ah it's all good. I only edit in the event something gets unintendedly picked up. The forum is "family friendly" and while I try to slip jokes in here and there, that surprisingly wasn't the point this time.
And good luck embarrassing me
My friends try it often and it ends with the situation flipped around and them saying "Please, stop".The jokes won't ever stop with me. Gotta have fun somehow.

This bridge is more likely to convince me to book a stay that the Moana drinking fountain, that’s for sure.

An interesting article on my favorite WDW project:
Disney finally decides to finish a sidewalk it announced in 1994
I didn't even remember the 1994 ‘Walk Around the World’ bricks project.
ETA: Also from the article: "Rumors of the Grand Floridian Convention Center being replaced by new ultra-luxury suites. . ." Say what? Anybody know about this rumor?

Everything was secured later yesterday (crane and bridge) in preparation for hurricane.

There's some wood being erec- built up out of the metal tube now. Probably for concrete forms for the bridge to rest or pivot around.

Another update. I'm glad to see my insider sources were correct. This is a dual toilet bridge. Very unique. One of a kind!
Also this since it technically relates to the same walkway:

They're going to be cutting it very close when it comes to enough space for the Liberty Belle to pass through.

I thought that before, but honestly, there are some tighter squeezes backstage than this new bridge creates.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
If you’ve seen one porta-potty, you’ve seen them all.

Same goes for bridges honestly.
Let me know when there’s a ribbon cutting with balloons. Balloons are the best.
